I took the plunge....

[Jean_B]

Well, after 17 years of minis only - I have taken the plunge and am getting into the Shetland world (but they will be double ASPC/AMHR....eventually).

I am soooo excited about becoming a member of "The Michigan Union" and a partner in ownership of this incredible stallion: Michigans Heart Of A Champion - a double Michigans Heart Breaker HOF grandson! He's going to stay around 35" so will be an incredible addition to the Miniature driving arena!

So of course I had to look for an appropriate "wife" or two for him. I fell in love with this filly when I was working on the Thoreson Pony Farm website (http://www.hoofweb.com/tpf) and now she's MINE! Can't wait to get her home in a few weeks.

Love the Michigan colt. Congraulations to the both of you. We just love the Shetlands and most of our horses are ASPC/AMHR registered.Have fun. :aktion033: :bgrin

Congrats! Looks like you have some nice ponies to start with.

I am excited that everyone seems to be discovering the Shetland. I wanted to start with Moderns a long while ago, but they were pretty much nonexistent out here and I had no idea where to start, so I went with the minis. Now, all the minis have moved on and I've got my ponies.

Congrats, I just love your colt!

As fun as the minis are they are nothing compared to the shetlands, as you will find out!!!

Loooove that colt. I think Lyn is part of 'The Michigan Union' on that colt isnt she? I know i have seen him before. He is something!!

I think if i had at first gotten into the ponies before the minis i prob would have stuck with the ponies buuuut it didnt exactly work that way and i have to say the ponies are my first love at the moment but the minis will not go anywhere.

Congrats, you got the best of both :aktion033: :aktion033:

Congrats Jean! You found a couple of good ones (as always). I can't wait to see what they do for you!

Welcome to ponies! And congratulations on a NICE colt! We also started out in minis, but discovered the Shetlands, and absolutely love them.

I've petted your filly and you haven't..... (to the tune of na-na-na boo-boo - LOL) She's adorable and SOOOO friendly! :aktion033: :aktion033: Congrats on them both!

Way to go Jean!!! I just took the plunge this year also!! I bought a pali mare in the spring that a had a half mini half shetland filly for me in april. 2 weeks ago i brought home my pony colts I bought in may. they are quit different than a mini but i love them!!!! I hope one of mine stays under 38 so I can reg him as a mini.

Good Luck!!!

HA HA. Bob swore up and down we would NEVER get into the whole "pony thing" and now we are up to three that are double reg. AMHR/ASPC and the whole family is totally hooked on ponies. I love them and as you know (since you maintain the website) we are into the whole Seth Thomas breeding. I do love the Michigan horses though and am always looking. I wish now we'd gone to Doc Taylors sale.

Congrats to you and I know what a good eye you have for true quality so I know you picked up some pretty fine horses. :aktion033:

 

[ctinsley]

Oh congratulations. You will love them. We like them so much, we've sold almost all of our mini's and are just showing our ASPC/AMHR horses.
